I for the making certain regulations with respel to the Treasurers of Counties,in Ireland. AR CFI OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. SHAW made his promised motion for a return of Newspapers put in the Dublin Post-Office since the ist of May, distinguishing those taxed for being 'put in after five o'clock, and those taxed for not hav ing the stamp placed outside,. • After a few words from Sir 11. Montgomery, Mr M`Nanglitan, Lord Joscelin, Mr. Grattan, and Mr. Parnell, Mr. W. BAH stated, to the. House that R.Conl. , MUHiCatiOH had been made to the Postmaster-Gene . rat, and that measures were taking for redressing- the evils coMplained - of by the Newspaper Editors, as arising from the restriaions under which letters were sent at present. He stated it to be in con. lemplation to assimilate the mode of sending letters in Ireland, to. that established in England. He had no objection to the motion, but he thought his Hon, Friend, learning the train things were in, would probably withdraw his motion. Mr. SHAW, under all the circumstances, had no wish to press the motion. . The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. FOSTER thought every Kember of that House, English, or 'lrish, would be of opinion the Irish Budget, of which he hadgiven notice, ought not to be brought forward but in a hiller' House. Feel ing that as he did, he would postpone his Budget till Wednesday. Mr. W. POLE moved, that the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the Irish Law Offices )331 should be read. He said, that as it had been found necessary to refer some. question's upon this Bill to the Judges, he feared it would be necessary to postpone it till next Sessions. At the same time he thought, it necessary to state, that if any o f th e places uhid] it was intended to regulate became va cant during the vacation, he would undertake to say*, that they should not be filled up in any way to pre vent the operation of any regulation that parliamen t might think proper to adopt. The Committee was . postponed to that day three months. , , -Mr. 0. GIDDY brought up the Reports of the Com mittee of Supply and the Committee on Expiring LaWs, chi Resolutions of which were read and agreed' to. . The Isle of Man Smuggling Bill was read a third time and passed, The Land-Tax Redemption Bill went, through a Committee, the Report of which was ordered to be received on Wednesday. The House went into a - Committee.of Supply, in which a grant was made which we could not col . led. The House resumed, and the Report of the Committee was ordered to be received on Wed nesday. • In a ComMittee of Ways and Mean-s, the ex- pences of paying and clothing the Irish Militia, were ordered ib be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund of Ireland, The Report was, ordered to be received on Wednesday. Mr. D. Gromr- brought up the Report of the Committee on the Holyhead Harbour Bill. The Bill was ordered to be re-committed on• Wednesday. Mr. M. F!TZGERALO postponed the Committee on the Irish Rods Bill to that - day three mbnths. Mr. WHARTON brought in the usual Lottery Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to -be read a second time on Wednesday. Mr. WHARTON brottg:4 in a Bill for direaing the accounts ofthe increase or decrease of Salarirzs, to be regularly laid before Pirliatnent, which W 33 read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday. On the (notion of Mr. PoNsoNßy, the Papers re= latiug to ate drainings of Bogs in Ireland, were ut•- dered to be printed. A Person from the West - India Dock Company presented Accounts of the Expenditure of the Company. Ordered to lie on the table.—Adjourned to Wednesday. MAI ARxtv ED-3Zottenburgh, !

The rupture with Mr. JACKSON, which was pub lished in France long before that event aaually,hap pened, has produced none of those sensations in the British Cabinet which were expetaed.--Instead o f exciting 'any thing • like resentment on the part of England, he affairs between the two Governments remain in the same situation in which they have ben for three years past. " So well satisfied is John-Bull with the enjoy ment of the commerce of the whohe world, which the strange policy of our Government has thrown into his hands, that he despises any thing we can do. And the Opposition party in England no longer con sider us ofany importance; and equally laugh at our impotence and our folly. " The majority in Congress, however, appear un willing that the business should stop here ; but seem determined that we shall be embroiled in a war with Britain at ali events. Accordingly, a set of resolu tions are brought forward . in Congress, by Dr. LEIB, Which, for gasconade,exceed any thing we have met with. " This farce, however, must soon be closed.— The people of this countrjr'begi3 to perceive, that the majority in Congress 'have already wasted too much of their time in making resolutions and, dis cussing the utility -of torpedoes. Nor will they much_ lon . ger submit to the privations of commerce, in compliance with the mandates of the tyrant of France.:—Conn. Mirror. If there ate any persons who so far mistake the feelings, disposition; and general character of Bri- tons, as to suppose that the faalious band who are at present attemr ting to overthrow the Constitution of their Country, are likely to be successful in their operations, they have only to turn their attention to the grand Civic Festival which to:.,k place yester day at the London Tavern. There they. might, have seen a company distinguished by rank, property', and charaaer, consisting of persons from most parts of the United Kingdom, anxious to testify their at / taehreent to the Constitution, and their regard for the memory 'of that illustrious Statesman and genuine Patriot, who may be said to have devoted his life to the support of it. Every toast and sentiment that expressed. loyalty and a zeal for the preservation of that political system which has so long rendered this Country the admiration and envy of all others, were received with an. enthusiasm which we doubt not :narks such a proportion_ of the people in general as may well induce us to look with contempt on the machinations •of turbulent declaimers and faaions scribblers. EVery person also who was itnown for his efforts in behalf of the common cause was received at his entrance and departure with the warmest marks of general respe3.' Mr. PER EVA L was particularly distinguished by this gratifying proof of public esteem, for the moment he appeared in the room, a spontaneous burst'of applause, as if by in gind,•took place, and continued till some time after he had-taken his seat. This may be deemed a proof that he is •considered as a Minister who is animated by the . same sentiments and principles as uniformly direeled the conduct of Mr. PITT, and that he is de termined, as he indeed yesterday avowed, " to fol low ,his track, and endeavour to 'imitate his ex ample." We are assured that the public will sympathize with us in feeling deep regret at the present alarm ing state of MI. WINDHAM'S health. However we may occasionally differ from this Gentleman in poli tical opinions, we hold his talents and charaeter in very high estimation, and are persuaded that his principles are sound, and all his views direEted to wtirds the interest and honour of his country. The following is the bulletin at his house this day. Mr. WIN Dli ANI gas had some sleep in the night, and is in less immediate danger than yesterday." He is attended by Drs.,BLANE and BAILY, and Surgeons Hum; aed LYNN. Mr. RYDER, much to the honour of his feelings, prevented the Park guns from being fired, as usual, this day, that Mr. WIND HAM might not be disturbed by the sound. ' Yesterday, about ball-pait - tt , :e!Ve o'clock, her MAJESTY and the Princess ELIZABETH arrived. at the queen's Palace, from Windsor. The QUEEN and PittiicEss, after partaking of an early dinner; set offon their return to Windsor, soon after four o'clock. On account of the severe ir.disposition of the Princess AmEl.l4, the' Royal, Family .will not come to town to-morrow, as was expeded; pre-- paratory to the KING'S Birth-day ; and it is sup posed it will be the latter end of the week before they come.

The late,Chevalier D'EoN, during the early pe- . riod of his residence in this country, was nistin _ guisbed by the conciliating urbanity and polished elegance of his minuets. It is well known that he :had many opportunities of forming matrimonial connections in this country, whiCh would at once have raised him into affluence, but on all such oc casion's he abruptly quitted the family w.:,en the opportunity presented itself. A circumstance of this kind happened in the family of a nobleman at whose seat he was to have remained some time upon a visit. ,1 The dAghter had conceived a strong attachment to the Chevalier, and the father had, inti mate d to hi m that he had no objedion to an union between them. The CheValier, the next morning, quitted -the house very early, - without taki ng a f orma i leave, and as other circumstances of the same nature are known to have occurred, it ,is by no means improbable • that the suspicious should base arisen which -his death has so effectually removed. During the de, clioing years of the Chevalier, he was certainly not distinguished for that courteous affability and easy . elegance of manners which had marked his earlier days . ; but, on the contrary, a negligent rough ness- generaliy charaelerized his depoviment, which seemed to be the .result .of a misanthropic spirit, produced 'by disappointments and Vexations. He , was, however, full of anecdotes, and, not unwii ling to impart them. He was well acquainted with must of the charatters who figured on the grearpo litical stage of Europe for the last half century. His reflections . were distinguished for shrewdness and a deep knowledge of-mankind. It is, lamentable , that a person so gifted, so well qualified to make a figure in' society, and who might reasonably have ,expeded to terminate his career iri affluence and honour, was obliged to expose himself in public in the quality of a fencing-master, after having lived' with charaders of the -higheat: rank, talents, and . learning, respected for his knowledge and It is said that he had written a history of all his transactions with the'Court of France, previous •to the revolution, but was induced to suppress the publication by a promise of pecuniary support. Though the 'mystery respecting his sex is at , length revealed, it is still difficult to conceive the reason that induced him to assume the female elm rattier and attire, unless, indeed; upon the suppo sition that he was concerned in the plot to excite doubts on the subject, in order, to share in the pro fits of public credulity. He was a man of spirit. He fought a duel in Russia, _in which he concluded . ' himself very well. He was, however,' not digtin guished for his stria r egar d to veracity. •He basely accused the Count de GuERCHY, a most respetable nobleman, who matried a sister of the late Lord HARCOURT, of • being employed, by the French Court to get him kidnapped or murdered ; 'and, though it clearly appeared that no such scheme had been devised, the-Count'sunk under the imputa tion, and died soon after his return to France. A paragraph which appeared in the public prints, of this country, announcing that a man had codes ised o_a his death-bed that he was one of 'the agents in this alleged . plot, was tweed to D'EoN, and was a mere inventio4.l of his own, in order to give some , colour to his former 'story, which had brought con siderhle discredit on his charader. In short, D'EoN was well fitted to ad the part of an impostor upon the stage of life, though he possessed abilities and attainments which qualified him for a' station in which he might deservedly have accquired the re aped of mankind. The officers of the Implacable have contradi6ted the report, that the Baron de KOLLI, stated to have been charged by the British Government to attempt the escape of FERDINAND VII. had . been executed in sight of our squadron off the French 'coast. • A curious account is given in a late India paper of an elephant hunt. Two wild elephants of an enor mous size, having made their appearance within a few hundred yards of the cantonments near Hazaree Bang and close to a village, several attempts were made to catch them by means of pits, but these fail ed, and the ele, hants entered the village, where they killed a ,man and a child, and wounded two women. Their destruction was then resorved upon, and some four pounders were brought up, which kept up a continued fire upon them for some time, and after a furious contest; the elephants frequently charging within a hundred yards , of the, &Lis, they were at length killed. Atter their death ,nineteen four pound shot were taken out of their bodies, and it was supposed that eight or ten more would still be found. TH3 RICH T' LION. PITT. The high and merited etimation in which the talents and iirtties of this illustriou, statesman are held by . the most respectable of his couatrymen, was visible in the :anniversary Dinner, in honour of his birth-day, which took place at the London Tavern. The Chair was taken by Mr. WILLIAMS, a gentle man of well known worth, abilities and fortune, and the following; who constituted but a small por t:ou of the company present, willenable our readers to judge of the impression which Mr. PITT has left on the hearts of all men who love their country and understand its interests.

Besides the above-mentioned Noblemen, the most distinguished and opulent commercial men o( this great metropolis were present, and it is imp9g-. sible for the world to supply another company equally respeolable for property and chara6lq. As soon as the, cloth was removed, " Non Nobis Domini," was finely sung by LzsTE, SAI.4 ELLIOT, GIBBON, DIGNUM, and others. The President then, instead of the usual toast of " The King," gave. " God save the King," Which was drank with three times three, • and every demonstration of enthusiastic loyalty, followed by the song, 'unit charmingly executed. Toast—" The Queen," with three. Glee—" Glorious Apollo." Toast—" The Prince and Pringess of Wales, and Royal Family e" with three. Song•-" George and England save," finely sung.by Dig nurn. • The CHAIRMAN then addressed the company. He said he was. about to propose a toast to the memory Of an illustrious Patriot, which must ever be held dear by every loyal Briton. To enumerate the virtues and the s,-:rvices of that truly great man, the anniversary of whose birth we were this day as sembled to commemorate,. was a task which it would be presumption in him to undertake; and tie should theretbre say little More than to recommend the toast to be drank in solemn silence, as the, mode best calculated to manifest the feelings t !licit he was sure must be universally felt on the occasion. Many a poignant pang had he experienced in Contemplating the irrepaable loss sustained by the death of that illus trious char6er, ant he was. sure thai every one who beard him must in a greater or lesser degree have felt similar seniations .of unfeigned regret ; for all must be persuaded, that in him the King lost his most faithful and sirtuous servant, the Constit u tion its bravest champion, and the worid general the noblest work o' God. He concluded, by re; eating hi's recommendation to drink, in solemn Silence, the toast which he should have the honour to propose.: " The immortal memory of the late Right Hon. William Pitt. This toast was accordingly drank, as usual, in reverential silence. Toarl.—" The Navy and Army of the United Empire s " (with three times three). Song.---" Rule Britannia," finely sung by Gm:obis, 1)I G. bum, and others.. Toast. 2--" The House of Brunswick, and the principles which seated it on the Phrone-Of these Realms;" (with three times three. ) Glee.—" When Order in this Land." The next tn3st-wa9 : • " May the principles of. Mr. Pitt every animate the Coun cils of Great Britain." - was drank with more than three times three; perhaps we should not much err it we said nearly nine times nine; amidst the, most extatic bursts of applause we have ever heard on such an occasion.: The next Toast -was— . •' The independence of Parliament; may it be eyer equally secure from the power of the Crown and the violence of fac, Lion." This Toast was drank with three times three, amidst reiterated and long continued bursts of ap-. plause. Glee—" The King and the Church." Toast--$6 The Loyal and Independent Livery of London,. who signed the Declaratio n i n support 6f the C onst i tut i on o f their Country, as by law established." Three times three, with rapturous applause. The City Members, Sir W. CURTIS, Sir C. PRICE, and Sir J. SJIAwE, rose, WI this toast being drank, and as the Senior Member, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS addressed the Meeting in behalf of himself and his brother Aldermen and col leagues, who signed the Counter-declaration. He commenced by returning thanks for the high ho nour thus conferred -on them. The Noblemen and Gentlemen of rank and fortune who attended she present meeting would, he observed, discern in the respedable• appearance, conduct, and charades; of the Gentlemen of the City whom they then saw near them, a proof tbe City of London possessed loyal and independent men, conscious of the bles sings. they enjoyed under, our happy Constitution, and prepared. to defend that Constitution which gave and - secured to them those blessings, against any faCtion that should attempt to overawe them. —The worthy Baronet then paid a just' tribute to the merit of the illustrious Patriot, whose birth-day they were then assembled to commemorate, as the preserver of that Constitinion, and of the safety and independence of this. island in former times. tip could pledge himself that the cit4ens of 40044 `~S ~t re'
